The Korean War was barely a month old when Private Born was lost.<br>
By the end of July 1950, the conflict was going badly for the Republic of Korea
and the U.S. Born and his 19th Regiment comrades were among the much-needed
reinforcements. On July 28, most of the 2nd Battalion, 19th Regiment was
deployed astride hills along the Chinju-Hadong Road, west of the Nam River.
Born's G Company was apart from the battalion's main group. The morning of July
30, the North Koreans maneuvered around 2nd Battalion positions and cut off the
road north out of Chinju. Later that day, G Company crossed the Nam River; the
goal was to prevent the enemy from reaching Chinju between the road and the
river. North Korean forces attacked G Company while the main body of North
Korea's 6th Division launched a full offensive against other American
positions. During the early morning of July 31, G Company entered the new
American defensive line at Chinju. The 2nd Battalion was then ordered to move
northeast. As G Company was preparing to do that, the enemy attacked. By noon
on July 31, the entire 19th Regiment had left Chinju. According to DPMO, during
the course of the July 30-31 battle, the 19th Regiment lost nearly 600 men,
including Private Born.</span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></span></p>
